Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
In the sampled ZIP areas, 56% of homes were built before 1980 and 20% from 2000 onward. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Buffalo was built in the 1970s. Older cabinet toe kicks can trap a refrigerator drip. A moisture map helps distinguish damp original construction from a dry replacement finish beside it.
A sudden drop in temperature may precede a floor leak. A stain below the kitchen calls for checks of the upper floor and lower ceiling cavity. Owners should track the work completed in each building layer. The lower unit may need inspection when water has crossed a shared ceiling.
